Everything you want is on the other side of letting go of your own limiting beliefs.
The love, freedom, and abundance you desire becomes available when you stop resisting your fears and surrender to what wants to live through you.
Your unwillingness to face your fears shackles you in the coffin of your comfort zone. Your own beliefs limit you.
I know comfort zones feel “secure” and familiar, but only suffering will ensue.
Why? Because our souls are meant to evolve, adapt, express, and expand. That is their nature. When you resist this inherent expansion and expression, you suffer.
Depression, anxiety, and a slew of health issues arise because your soul is being paved over, ignored, and silenced.
When you are not acting in alignment with your heart and feel deeply disconnected from your body, other people, and the Earth is when everything seems as though it’s falling apart.
And yet, you were born far more capable than you can fathom. Far more powerful than you’ll ever understand.
Trust me. I would know.
My Journey
When I was 22 years old, I decided to try a massive experiment. One that would change the course of my life forever.
I had just graduated from college and had recently ended a 4-year relationship, and I was struggling to figure out who I was without school, my boyfriend, or my family.
I realized I didn’t truly know who I was or what I wanted.
Finally, I woke up to the fact that I’d been raised in a certain paradigm and program that came with expectations from my family, friends, and society at large. A program that no longer served my spirit.
I was burned out, overworked, and still grieving the end of my relationship. If I really wanted to find myself, I knew I had to shake things up in a huge way.
I needed to break out of the cycles I found myself in, I had to learn how to love myself, and I desperately wanted to know how other cultures lived. My curiosity and desire to be who I wanted to be couldn’t be ignored any longer.
I had to break my own limiting beliefs and radically push myself out of all of my comfort zones.
So, what changed?
It all started with a decision. I sold everything I owned, put all I could carry into two backpacks, bought a one-way ticket to Australia, and told my parents I didn’t know when I was coming back. You can imagine their horror!
During those 8 months of self-reflection and adventure, I was miles away from my anything resembling a comfort zone. It was terrifying, exhilarating, and exactly what I needed in order to learn what mattered to me.
The biggest takeaway from that solo journey was about my purpose. I realized how much I couldn’t bear to just wander and exist, floating my way through life.
Purpose was necessary, and I needed a purpose that served something greater than myself. I had to matter and make the absolute most out of this one beautiful life.
I was miserable without purpose, and I learned the importance of following my heart fully and doing the things that lit me up most. Things that made IMPACT.
Here’s the moral of the story:
If you are feeling confused and unclear about your purpose and you’re lacking meaning in your life, it’s time to shake things up and break all the way out of those limiting beliefs!
Dare to leap. Be willing to sit with yourself and ask the hard questions. Shed the layers of programming that have shaped you by immersing yourself in other cultures and perspectives.
NOW is your time to break free and truly soar.
Your soul is here to do BIG work. Don’t believe the stories in your mind that say otherwise.
You are the ultimate creator of your life. Make the conscious decision on how your story will unfold.
You hold the power. Gift yourself the permission to rise against all odds.
All you have to do is reclaim it.
No more playing small. No more playing victim. And definitely no more believing that you are not worthy or enough.
Let go in order to RISE, and the world will meet you there
Self-Love Challenge
This week I kick-started a self-love challenge. You can read more about how it all started here, or by following me on Instagram and Facebook!
Part of learning to love yourself is identifying limiting beliefs and rewriting them to support your limitless growth.
Your mind is a VERY powerful tool. It can either fuel your rapid transformation or keep you stuck in the same old patterns and cycles.
What you believe you become. Whether you think you can or you can’t, you are right.
You also hold the power to rewrite the script in your mind whenever you wish. How exciting!
Not everyone will need to sell everything and move to a different country, but beginning the journey of self-love all begins with breaking those limiting beliefs that are holding you back.
Letting go of old, limiting beliefs and embodying new ones takes time and patience. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s beyond worth it. You got this!
Much Love!
